TedTalks

Speaker and Title: Ken Robinson says schools kill creativity




The reason why I like this video is because the man speakes about creativity in schools and how it lacks in students, Ken says he/she will not live his/her life to there full potiential without it.  "Creativity now is as important in education as literacy and we should treat it with the same status."
The comedy aspect to the video also keeps me watching it as it does get a bit boring as it is nearly over twenty minutes.


Other people should watch this because this TedTalk is very inspiring and intresting. as  Children are our future and nothing is ever going to change with this world if we keep teaching our children the same mistakes. Teachers of the world should view this video and get inspired to teach creativitly.
